Chapter 55: It Is Not Easy Being a Scumbag

Tianshui City is a small city named after Tianshui Academy, located not far from the Star Dou Great Forest and belonging to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although this city is not large, it is exceptionally exquisite; whether it be the streets or the building facilities, they are all constructed... very beautifully.

"It truly lives up to being owned by a women's academy; even this city has become good-looking..."

Qin Jian, dressed in a light blue tight-fitting outfit, walked along the main street of Tianshui City, looking around with curiosity from time to time.

Two weeks had passed since he left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; during this time, he had silently licked his wounds, and only now had he managed to settle his mood.

"The target of the Second Soul Ring trial is actually Shui Bing'er..."

Qin Jian's gaze turned toward the center of Tianshui City; if his expectations were correct, Tianshui Academy should be located there.

"My soul power is already at Level 22 now... I didn't expect her to have such great favorability toward me..."

Qin Jian walked along the central avenue of the city, and along the way, youthful and beautiful students of Tianshui Academy could be seen everywhere.

"The Second Soul Ring is a 3000-year limit, and the soul skill is even related to first love; this is all the result of separating from Rongrong..."

He gently exhaled a breath of melancholy.

"To go and pursue Shui Bing'er right now, I simply cannot do it; how could I possibly get past that hurdle in my heart..."

"Unless I am a scumbag..."

He patted his own forehead and muttered to himself: "But a scumbag isn't something just anyone can be..."

"But the pain of love is too bitter; if I want to protect myself and continue to grow stronger, I can only learn to be a scumbag... After all, only by not falling in love can I better protect myself..."

Thinking of this, Qin Jian sensed his true form tremble slightly, and that feeling clearly told him: "As a Love Flower with Million Year Spirit Power, wanting to cast off your own nature is impossible..."

"Whatever!"

Qin Jian angrily kicked a stone pier by the roadside and said huffily: "The most important thing now is to grow stronger and pass these God Position Nine Trials. No matter who I am required to fall out of love with later, only by passing them all can I become a god, control my own destiny, and fulfill my promise to Rongrong!"

"Hey! Why are you kicking the roadside stone pier just like that?!"

Just then, a slightly androgynous girl's voice rang out beside him.

Qin Jian turned around and saw a short-haired girl wearing a Tianshui Academy uniform.

And the other party was frowning at him.

This girl had a tall figure with well-proportioned features and was extremely good-looking, but that snow-white short hair added a touch of heroic spirit to her out of nowhere.

"So what if I kick the roadside stone pier? Did I break it?"

If Qin Jian had been in a good mood when encountering such a thing, he might have just apologized and left.

But he was not in such a good mood right now, so he looked coldly at the snow-haired girl and said: "Does this Tianshui City have a rule against touching roadside stone piers?"

The snow-haired girl knitted her rather heroic-looking eyebrows and said: "Although Tianshui City does not have this rule, these roads are cleaned by Tianshui Academy students every day using soul power; you should respect the fruits of our labor."

"Oh..."

Qin Jian said without changing his expression: "Since Tianshui City does not have this rule, then you have no reason to blame me. Goodbye."

He did not want to say anything more, turned around directly, and continued walking in the direction of Tianshui Academy.

"Hey! Why are you so lacking in manners?!"

The snow-haired girl chased after him with a clatter, quickly blocked Qin Jian's path, and said angrily: "You cannot just leave like this!"

"I just kicked the stone pier, is it worth being so serious about?"

Qin Jian crossed his arms and tilted his head, saying: "What exactly do you want?"

"You must wipe the footprint off the stone pier before you can leave!" the snow-haired girl said coldly.

Qin Jian looked at her strangely for a few moments, then said: "Psychopath."

He walked directly around the girl and continued forward.

"You! How can you curse at people!"

The girl's voice sounded increasingly androgynous and quite magnetic.

"If you have the time to pester me, you might as well go wipe the stone pier yourself; that way you can achieve the result you want very quickly," Qin Jian said casually.

The snow-haired girl frowned: "It is clearly your fault, why should I help you wipe it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian finally stopped, turned back to look at her for a few moments, and said: "You must understand, while keeping the city clean is good, it is not everyone's demand. If you want it, do it yourself; don't stand on the moral high ground to criticize others."

The girl was somewhat stunned by his words: "But others are not like you; they are all willing to listen to our opinions..."

Qin Jian could not help but roll his eyes: "As a pretty girl, you should know what your greatest weapon is. Do others yield to you because you are really right? It is only because you are pretty and have a good figure that no one cares. If you really take this as them agreeing with you, then I can only say you are... big-chested and brainl—um."

"Is... is that so..."

The girl's worldview seemed to show signs of collapsing, but that was none of Qin Jian's business; he turned around again and walked toward the gate of Tianshui Academy.

Under the gate of Tianshui Academy, which was as blue as ocean waves, female students were entering and exiting from time to time, but a young man like Qin Jian walking inside appeared extremely abrupt.

"Is someone else not thinking straight and planning to sneak into Tianshui Academy?" a young man by the roadside said while looking over.

Someone beside him echoed: "That must be someone with itchy bones wanting a beating. What was the result of the last man who dressed as a woman to participate in Tianshui Academy's enrollment? It seems they broke a few of his legs..."

"Yeah, they broke three..." the young man said, crossing his arms.

"Three..."

Another person shuddered.

At this moment, the previous snow-haired girl also spotted Qin Jian's figure; she hurried over and said: "This is our Tianshui Academy, men are strictly forbidden from entering. What are you doing?"

Qin Jian glanced at her and said: "That is truly a pity, I am here to break the absolute."

The snow-haired girl only felt that her brain was particularly insufficient today: "Br... break the absolute?"

Then she saw Qin Jian swaggering toward the gate of Tianshui Academy, while the female guards at the gate had already raised the Swords in their hands...

"This guy is really arrogant beyond measure; I want to see how he breaks the absolute, hmph!"

The snow-haired girl stood near the gate, waiting to see Qin Jian's miserable appearance when he was thrown out.

And some other people around also cast curious gazes over, clearly all looking forward to the same thing.

"Stop! Tianshui Academy prohibits any men from entering or exiting!"

Clang!

The two female guards in iron armor before the gate simultaneously raised their Swords, crossing them to block Qin Jian's path.

"Hehehe... another one who doesn't know death from life; I wonder which leg will be broken this time..."

"Maybe all five limbs will be chopped off!"

"Five limbs? Brother, you are a genius!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Many people by the roadside were discussing it heatedly...
